Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare endocrine disease involving antidiuretic hormone (ADH), encompassing both central and nephrogenic causes. Inability to respond to or produce ADH leads to inability of the kidneys to reabsorb water, resulting in hypotonic polyuria and, if lack of hydration, hypernatremia. DI cannot be cured and is an unfamiliar disease process to many clinicians.

Polyuria-polydipsia syndrome is composed of arginine vasopressin deficiency, arginine vasopressin resistance and primary polydipsia and are characterised by severe polyuria with hypotonic urine. The water deprivation test is commonly used to indirectly assess the vasopressin response to water deprivation. We report a woman in her 20s who demonstrated severe polyuria (11-12 L/day) on submitting a 24-hour urine sample for analysis.

Background: Hyponatremia is one of the complicating findings in acute decompensated heart failure. Decrease in cardiac output and systemic blood pressure triggers activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, antidiuretic hormone, and norepinephrine due to the perceived hypovolemia. Fluid-overloaded heart failure patients are commonly treated with loop diuretics, acutely decompensated heart failure patients tend to be less responsive to conventional oral doses of a loop diuretic, while other different diuretics could work in different part of nephron circulation system.

A knowledge gap may exist when attempting to identify the pathogenetic mechanisms resulting in the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) or hypotonic hyponatremia. Ectopic secretion of antidiuretic hormone [ADH] is the classic cause of SIADH. But another form of inappropriate secretion of ADH occurs when interleukin 6 is activated.

Wernicke encephalopathy is a well-described neurological complication of thiamine deficiency that is classically characterized by a triad of mental confusion, ophthalmoplegia, and gait ataxia. Although most commonly linked to alcoholism and thiamine deficiency in adults, it can present in pediatric patients. Wernicke encephalopathy presenting as dysnatremias is not well described.
